General Gardening Discussion

Hi All,I need to put a new path in by the veg beds as I didn't make it wide enough first time. I am replacing the gravel with slabs. The idea was to put a wild flower bed next to it that would be 2ft x 4ft, but I am now thinking of using it for a nursery bed but do not really know too much...

thought you had gone , last post on this was September it should off started back into growth by now ?Spruce

It is. My dad's one is living proof. I'll get a photo next time I go up.

Glad to hear your Hebe's improving. Now slugs are a whole different ball game, a gardeners nightmare for all of us!

What about Eleagnus and Pittosporum?

Not seen any yet but if it warms up again we will do no doubt.

Signed, Its the European elections in May, if 1 of the mildless idiots coming knocking on your door ask them about this, and watch there face go blank and waffle on like all politicians do.In a bit instead of customs checking for cigs and booze, they'll be checking if you've got any seeds.

What you you going to hit them with? Pure Nitrogen?

Thanks for the help, Clueless!!......what would I do without you??? I couldn't contain myself after what was happening yesterday but I've amended it now!!!

I use Ducksback it is wax enriched and gives a nice long lasting coat . The colour has a nice depth unlike the normal fence paints which seem a bit flat to me. I painted my shed with it , prob needs touching up this year after 5 years .

If you are thinking of buying a scarifier, and not sure if it will be "man enough", maybe consider hiring a beefy machine instead? You'll probably only need it for one day a year, or every other year.

If you have a roof to fill it (or occasional use of a hose connected to water tap) then I would get a used IBC, which holds 1,000 L and put leaky-hose or drippers where you want water. If the output is too fast / too much if left on all the time (leaky hose would be, drippers might not) then a...

I'm trying to breed a hardy one. Every year, I get survivors later and later into winter. I've got one this year but I think winter was unusually mild, so I don't think I've quite achieved it yet, but each year I collect the seeds from the toughest ones.I can't help but wonder though, if I...

Hi All,In addition to the maxicrop seaweed liquid, should I feed the lawn with anything else? I noticed these 2 online, I dont have any weeds or moss so dont need a weed killer combo, would either be ok?Last year I fed the lawn every 4 to 6 weeks with the Miracle gro product below....

The stone looks stunning. Shame it was covered with ivy.Well done for surviving that task.

Good evening Failedcomic your welcome,well don't give up on her my friend,you done what you can and have achieved a lotenjoy your evening

Hi, I was hoping for some advice. I've just noticed today that my privet hedge has brown spots on the leaves. It seems to be very established across all the plants in the hedge.I have attached a photo of one of the leaves. If anyone knows what the problem is and any pointers on how to deal...

Good afternoon Reetgood prune the whole Rose evenly even the ones with buds on,they will come back

Could maybe need potting on into a larger pot? The yellow leaf would indicate overwatering and perhaps the plant is too cold on the window sill hence the drooping leaves!!Val
